Scott Kleeb has heard the call from all of us who have pledged to support him in a campaign for Senate. And in a video message to his supporters, Kleeb lays down a challenge for everyone who wants this campaign to succeed. Let's make this our campaign, together.
Kleeb makes it clear that this is a decision that we all must make. We have to realize that this is our campaign, our future at stake here. The people of Nebraska deserve a choice. And those of us who want Scott to run cannot be passive and waiting. He has issued a challenge to each and every one of us: Step Forward and make this campaign ours.
This is more than a campaign for the Senate - it's a demonstration that the people of this state still matter. After watching the Republican field back away in the face of intimidation and coercion, and watching the Democratic establishment try to recruit a lifelong Republican to run for the Democratic nomination, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines anymore. We deserve a choice in this race. We deserve the right choice, the right candidate. But this is our race to win or lose. It will not be easy, and we may have to fight back against a few in our own party to get there. The fight for a New Nebraska begins today. Will you join us?
